Some other minor gripes are cleaning the skinny tubes, which can be a bit of a pain, and the membranes are tiny, so they are easy to lose or accidentally drop down the drain. But an additional finding is that a little rubber O-ring tends to wear out quickly and cause leaks; it can be replaced by contacting Medela for parts.

When we compare Spectra with Medela Symphony, Spectra seems to be a better option because it is a fraction of Symphony cost, and it’s much more portable. Made in the USA and sold with a sleek tote or backpack, the Medela Pump in Style is the most versatile option on the market. The control screen was easy to use and showed the current suction level, timer, suction type, and battery level. This will compensate for the fact that wearable pumps are simply less powerful and are likely to produce a bit less milk than a traditional double-electric pump. When I put my pump in my backpack, I found that the standard tubing that comes with the Spectra was not long enough.

Even without the Smart Pump feature, this breast pump is truly excellent in several more fundamental ways. This is especially true in the night, when the Spectra’s built-in night-light lets you quickly and easily set yourself up, then sit back and pump away. The Willow pumps have some great basic features: completely wireless and hands-free operation, rechargeable batteries, super quiet, seven suction levels, sensitivity adjustment, and an amazing app. Finding the Goldilocks zone of the perfect suction and speed is much easier when you are in charge of the adjustments.
